In the world of law school rankings, somebody's lemon is always somebody else's lemonade. USC's Gould School of Law took a tumble, which means that for the first time in just about forever Cal-Berkeley has a higher-rated law school than does Southern Cal. Gould's drop was good news for the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State, which is now number one and is making Chancellor Jack Weiss (left) look pretty happy.

Three schools join the Top 20, while the folks at Missouri-Columbia have their highest ranking (10) since the invention of the Gregorian calendar. All rankings based on ContractsProf's proprietary secret but very exact ratings methodology. Last week's rank in parentheses.
